    It's wild that the lawless part perfectly described some of the intense dreams(4 to 8 a night)(I have been writing them down and contemplating them and trying to do as the Grimes did, but not a master yet) I've been having and that this is all coming to me at this time as well as other things from Plato both IRL, dreams and from online sources are jumping out now an revealing themselves, in such a benefiting way. I guess I'll have to listen even better to what they are saying to me.

      Well, I'm glad you are paying more attention to your dreams and to your state of mind IRL. That is so very meaningful. I do have a video on dream analysis. It is in the Philosophical Midwifery playlist. And let me know if you want more videos like that.

    Something I'm starting to see is the interconnectedness of the king, to the democracy to the tyrant, that a king and a tyrant both rule their subjects with absolute authority but so to does the democracy in that it is a king(kratos/power/authority) turned to dust(pieces/many/capital) and the demos(people/desires/wingless drones) being subject to the whims of that authority when enough pieces are gathered together (Become a king again both in spirit and body of the state) and is defended by those that have capital(defender) that moves the necessary desires(freedom) democracy but under the tyrant it is changed to Liberty(for one over all the others) and under the king would be counsel of a court.

      Hi. I'm not sure I'm understanding exactly what it is you are seeing here, but certainly Plato outlined a transition from oligarchy to democracy to tyranny. He shows how we can slip from one constitution to the next if we don't exercise reason and shed light on what is going on. This is music--recognizing our states of mind.

      @@allaboutplatonism That these states of mind have a common pattern to them, and that plus what you have said already is starting to really make sense in a flowy way if that make sense, and I'm starting to see myself seeing this or picking up on it, before it was hit or miss.
